Re:Re: inet_aton 0x0 in integer in structure

It is valid ANSI C code and it makes sense. And it is a pointer, like in the header:
extern int inet_aton (const char *__cp, struct in_addr *__inp) __THROW;
The compiler accepted it as well.

As the code stands it's a pointer to nowhere: you have not allocated any storage "on the heap" nor taken the address of an object "on the stack". This is very elementary, don't make a fool of yourself.
